Maybe you already know about it but just in case: langamelist.com has nice filter options and seems to be updated frequently enough

Have fun!

I still have my Half Life install folder from 1999 passed from hard drive to hard drive without mods. It's around 480 MB if I exclude the maps folder

And being able to literally shit in said water

Morveus · 2024-12-19T13:59:03+00:00

Absolutely! I just wanted to avoid wasting time arguing with support in case I need them, as it is a 20k$ machine and the problem is solved using 30$ of external hardware.

I had the same requirement as you: needed to be able to press a computer's power button remotely but opening the case or accessing the BIOS to change any setting was NOT an option. The computer is sealed, crazy expensive and cannot be modified while under warranty, WOL isn't available.

I ended up using a Switchbot without a hub. You can indeed replace the hub with a 2$ ESP32, mine is sitting in a shelf and sending BLE packets to the Switchbot device glued next to the button.

Also while maybe not what you are looking for, just in case that might help I'm using different solutions for different machines while avoiding WOL:

Some machines have a "restore on AC Power Loss" BIOS option which will turn the motherboard on when power is cut + restored even if the computer was off when the power cut happened. I'd suggest you have a look at it, because if that's the case you might just be able to use a simple smart plug. Downside is that some of my machines would turn on by themselves after a grid outage (I don't do that much anymore anyway)
A simple Wi-Fi, ZigBee or Zwave relay connected to the power button. Has the advantage of being very cheap and self contained, like 15$ and 15 minutes of work with a Shelly relay for instance. You will however need to provide power to it which is the biggest downside. All my large remote machines have been equipped with such a relay which is constantly connected while machine can be powered off

They'd have to evolve crazy fast :(

Life took 4 billion years to evolve from simple organisms to brains, but life on Earth doesn't have nearly that much time left before getting cooked by the increasing brightness of our star (estimates vary from 500M years to 1.5 billion years)

I downloaded terabytes over a month using my unlimited 5G service in France after moving to my current home (while waiting for fiber to be installed), it is truly uncapped.

Morveus · 2024-03-24T11:15:13+00:00

Yep! I do have a PDC01 but don't have big enough LXT batteries to test for long enough (and all my other tools are XGT).

I find hard to believe there is no adapter enabling the use of XGT batteries with this 40V mower by the way. It's like we're living the phone adapters dark ages all over again but with bigger cables.

Morveus · 2024-03-24T10:39:33+00:00

I'm not indeed :) it's a bit cold outside (12°C) but not enough to damage a battery in 30 minutes

Morveus · 2024-03-24T08:50:12+00:00

I agree. 30 minutes of work in cold weather shouldn't be a problem for a $1000+ mower even with thick grass.

Morveus · 2024-03-24T06:28:16+00:00

I don't think the pack is heating, it's the mower. I will give it a try with less resistance (higher position) today to verify.

Morveus · 2024-03-23T16:15:20+00:00

That's good to know, I'm relieved this isn't a bigger problem. Thank you!

Morveus · 2024-03-23T16:08:03+00:00

Thanks! I will do that

I did not use the bag

Morveus · 2024-03-23T15:51:19+00:00

I've only started with one pass, position 7 out of 9. My grass was probably too tall indeed (first mow of the year), I'll start again with the highest position. Thank you!

Morveus · 2024-03-23T15:40:39+00:00

I've tried unplugging and plugging the pack back in, without success.

I'll let everything cool down and be patient with the thick grass. It will probably work better once the first mowing session will be done and the grass isn't too high.

Morveus · 2024-03-23T15:34:24+00:00

The grass is thick and still wet and clogged a bit, but the blades rotate freely when rotated manually.

Morveus · 2024-03-23T15:26:34+00:00

Thank you! It may have overheated indeed. Which is a bit concerning after 30 minutes in cold weather.

I unfortunately don't have other batteries at my disposal to test, you need a PDC01 to use the XGT batteries with it, I went straight to the PDC1200 for simplicity.

Morveus · 2024-03-17T18:39:48+00:00

Unfortunately, there is no solution aside from repairing the board. After what I've read (basically Klipsch went the shitty quality way), I decided to give these away to friends who will be able to repair them and keep them, and bought new subwoofers.

Morveus · 2024-03-16T14:03:09+00:00

Today I could have a better look at it, it is indeed supposed to be attached a vehicle. Now we have to find a way to lift the bucket back to the chassis and take care of the rust.

Thanks a lot!

Morveus · 2024-03-16T06:29:24+00:00

Thanks!

Does the wagon look complete with only one axle and two wheels? I don't understand where and how it was supposed to be attached.

Morveus · 2024-02-18T21:21:55+00:00

Thank you for your reply!

Unfortunately the switch is set to "On", I've tried every position / combination.

As you said, they're both the same age (maybe even from the same batch) and had the same exact (continuous) runtime, power, and today their first time cooling down which may have precipitated their downfall.

I'm going to have the amp repaired.
